    Great Video. I’m glad you included your hubby. You guys are adorable. Nice plant prep info. Looked like a fun Plant Swap. I gotta say, the highlight of the day for me would have been meeting you and Knot Dude.

    Hi Becca, great plants that you got at the plant swap, I'm buying two wish list plants from Linda May that she has for sale, the variegated lipstick and the Hoya Wettii, so excited to get these. I just love plant people and how fun and friendly we all are, and what we share between all of us, it's a great community to be a part of. I love your videos and get so excited when I see that you have posted something, also I like following you on Instagram, that's fun as well. I thought the way you boxed up and carefully packaged your cuttings was spot on, I loved seeing this, and if I ever get a chance to go to a plant swap I will try to present my cutting in a fun and unique way like you did. Thanks so much Becca for a really fun video, take care and I will see you soon, bye for now.

    I've only come across a few plant swaps in my area, however, I've been too nervous to go. At least this video serves as an intro to what could be seen at other plant swaps, plus your presentation of the cuttings was a great idea.

  • @chelsea7229
    @chelsea7229 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    I’ve only been to one plant swap, and it was awful. When you walked in the door you turned your plants over, and then got one ticket for each plant you brought. After everyone showed up and got their tickets, all the plants were laid out on tables, and when the swap started everyone started going for the plants they wanted- one plant for one ticket. It was a mad rush for the rare plants, although most of what was there was very common. I hated it since I had no control of what I swapped for. I brought rare plants, and left with spider plants, pothos and lipstick plants. I won’t go to another one like that- it was a horrible idea.

    • @BeccaDeLaPlants
      @BeccaDeLaPlants  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Basically, you walk around before everything starts and check out what everyone has. When trading starts, you go to the person you want to trade with (so that's why its important to put your name on your plants) and tell them "hey, I'm interested in x plant and would love for you to check out my spot point at spot if you want to trade anything!

    Never been to a plant swap...now I really want to go to one. How are you able to monitor your table and swap with others if you are walking around looking for plants for yourself? Does it just work itself out? And did you swap everything you brought? Thanks for sharing the experience.

      It just sort of works itself out. Basically, you walk around before everything starts and check out what everyone has. When trading starts, you go to the person you want to trade with (so that's why its important to put your name on your plants) and tell them "hey, I'm interested in x plant and would love for you to check out my spot *point at spot* if you want to trade anything!"
